To help my clients and distributors, because I can�t meet personally with everyone I wrote Nutrition 101: Choose Life! If you have looked for a way to guide you and your family into eating a balanced, whole foods, not extreme eating program that allows your body to balance, alkalize, restore and heal, AND allow you to freely use the fabulous Young Living essential oils with ease and success, then you need Nutrition 101: Choose Life!

Nutrition 101: Choose Life! is a three-in-one family nutrition and health program for all ages that presents the major body systems, how they function, their common health issues, the benefits of good food and the consequences of bad food. Its 448 pages include six units: 1) The Brain and Nervous System; 2) Digestion and Elimination; 3) Respiration and Olfactory; 4) Muscular and Skeletal Systems; 5) Cardiovascular and Immune Systems; and 6) Endocrine System and Emotions.

Packed with hands-on activities, science and art projects, it involves even the youngest family members and contains nearly 80 family-friendly recipes. This program teaches and reinforces the why's of what we should eat, not just "because I said so." Adults clearly see the dangers of highly processed foods and what they are doing to the next generation.

Containing a complete reference guide filled with nutrition facts, charts, practical tips, testimonies and an exhaustive index, Nutrition 101: Choose Life! will serve as a constant resource for improved health and abundant living. Young Living essential oil and various products are mentioned throughout, but we recommend using one of the essential oil reference guides for specific product selection. Nutrition 101: Choose Life! is a nutrition book, not an essential oils reference book. Say goodbye once and for all to nagging health issues and hello to vibrant health - Choose Life!

For a limited time, the publisher Growing Healthy Homes is extending a special offer to all Young Living distributors. You can purchase the Nutrition 101: Choose Life! package (both the CD and book) for $99.95 plus shipping and handling ... a $129.95 value - BEFORE August 31, 2009. Don;t wait, get your hands on Nutrition 101: Choose Life! and be equipped to help yourself and others.

Order on or before August 31, 2009:
1. Go to GrowingHealthyHomes.com
2. Add the book and CD package to your shopping cart. The discount will not be applied if you add the book and CD separately.
3. Add the discount code YLEOspecial.
4. Enter your zip code and that will give you shipping expenses.
5. Finalize your transaction.

The book will finish printing in late July. Preorders processed in July will be shipped immediately upon arrival at our warehouse with anticipated delivery in early August.

If the book and CD have the same information, what is the value of having both? The book provides all of the information from the CD professionally printed and bound in full color. The CD allows you to reprint individual copies of the recipes, shopping lists, charts and any other relevant pages. Many families print single pages and create a folder for each child. Nutrition 101: Choose Life! is a tremendous resource and having it in both formats allows flexibility and saves you time and money.

Grow your Young Living business by being equipped to share the role great nutrition plays in your health. I have built my YL business to the level of Platinum and soon to be Diamond through the teaching of nutrition and essential oils together. Gary Young has often stressed the importance of what we eat as foundational to our health. Through Nutrition 101: Choose Life!, you'll finally be able to put both the nutritional and essential oil components together for the best results.

Here are the first-hand experiences of others:

"Nutrition 101: Choose Life! is a wonderful, well organized and much needed educational tool! There is simply nothing else out there like it!" - Thomas M. Reed, DPM, FACFAS, Double board certified in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery and author of Core Essentials Complete: 90 Days to a Healthier You, and Young Living Silver.

"It has been such a joy to see Nutrition 101: Choose Life! come to life in our co-op. The kids have greatly enjoyed the fun and varied science experiments and the delicious cooking activities. They also have learned a great deal about their bodies and healthy eating habits. The most important thing my own child has learned is that healthy foods don't have to taste bad, and that trying new foods can be fun!" - Elise Eaton, Director, Extraordinary Education

"We have really enjoyed Nutrition 101: Choose Life! I love the fact that my daughter has learned to make better food choices at each meal and has become such a great label reader." - Maureen Brisack, homeschool mother of two

"Nutrition 101: Choose Life! does an amazing job explaining the anatomy and physiology of the body, nutritional health and how to make good food choices every day, but most of all it reflects God's love for us. Passing this information on to our children will be a blessing. I recommend it to everyone - family, friends and my downline." - Lisa Cook, mother, RN, Executive Director of Columbia County Independent Living and Young Living distributor

Quinoa is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a grass. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.

I have never heard of this nor Amaranth. Where do you find such foods as these? A health food store would be my guess.

Great answers Mike!

I wanted to also note that quinoa is most noteworthy for its high protein content (12%–18%). When I was a vegetarian for 10 years, mostly vegan, I often used quinoa. It makes a great hot breakfast cereal and it's wonderful in casseroles. It's easy to cook as well. Have fun with you research on it!

Any one had any experiences with Kombucha Tea?

Permalink Reply by Mike Hinkle on August 18, 2009 at 9:30pm

I read about this, but the description, made me not try it. It involves using a starter batch, kinda like "Friendship Cake" but the fermenting process and amount of vinegar created left me heading in other directions. It is suppose to detoxify and possibly help with liver issues. But I have never tried it, have you yet?
